Learning Styles

"A learning style is the method of learning particular to an individual that is presumed to allow that individual to learn best. It has been proposed that teachers should assess the learning styles of their students and adapt their classroom methods to best fit each student's learning style."

There are two types of learning that are commonly referred to, these are:
* Surface learning (aids the short term memory better)
* Deep learning (aids the long term memory better)

Most learning style are defined by the following aspects:
* Visual learning (learn by seeing)
* Auditory learning (learn by hearing)
* Reading/writing (learn by processing text) (This category is not always listed.)
* Kinesthetic learning or practical (learn by doing).

Some people believe that using more that using at least two of these different interactions helps the child learn with a deeper understanding.

Of course what all teachers and parents want is for their children to learn in the form of deep learning, using the style that is best suited to them. Unfortunately this brings up many problems, as a lot of the time there is not enough teachers to accommodate for all the children's needs in school.


Our game has tried to appeal to reading/writing and kinesthetic learners mostly. The child has to read through the question and process the answer and then make the action of choosing which option they think is right.
We decided to include glossary and information pages so that if the child gets stuck they can find all the answers they were not sure about.
Another thing we added in were difficulty levels, this means that the child can have a sense of achievement when they upgrade difficulty levels.
We managed to integrate the catch phrase idea more by using catchphrases with the questions. We also included some sound files from the original game to make it more interactive with the user. We believe that the more senses you include the more interesting the game will be to the user.
